- Dummy group mode: multiple mindmaps with simple group name that everyone can view and edit (for group mindmapping without having to setup groups in the course)
- Lock mindmap: prevent editing of mindmap when someone is editing it during group mindmapping
Currently, it is not backward compatible with Moodle 1.9x, please install it on Moodle 2.x only.

Hi, if I install this module do I also need to install Mindmap https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=mod_mindmap in order to get one mindmap for the whole course? Or is that functionality also included in this plugin?
Also I see the response to Sarah Jane's question about permissions for students to view each others' mindmaps - are there any plans to incorporate this into the settings page to make it easier to change and to be able to toggle it at the individual instance level?
cheers

I understand that it is not easy for many people to change it in the permission setting, I will consider moving it to general setting page, but you can already toggle it at the individual instance level now.

I need your help please. We use advnaced mindmap, in one course one of the student did her mind map, but when we try to view it the screen show loading with ekpenso logo and don´t display anynthing, couldo you help me please ??

Hi i've installed the latest version of this mod on my moodle 2.6 website. I have flash player and shockwave installed yet when i click on a mindmap i just get a blank page. I noticed in your Q&A above that you've said a blank page = no flash player, but i do have this installed.

Hi, Thanks for this mod and sorry for my english...
I would like to give to the teacher the possibilty to assign a number grade on th map created by a student or by a group of students : one number grade for one student.
Do you think it is possible ? and how can I make it ?
Thanks a lot for your answer.

I installed this plugin. Create a Mindmap as Admin. I wanted student to view my mindmap and then possibly create their own. When I view as any student, Mindmap made as Admin or Teacher is not seen. How do I make this work...

I try to import a mindmap into another course. The mindmap description is shown but the mindmap content is not shown. The same happens when I backup and restor a course with a mindmap. I tried the backup and restor in Moodle 2.3 and Moodle 2.7.
